BLEACH Seasons 6-12

[Part of TV Series: BLEACH]

SEASON 6 THE ARRANCAR: BLEACH 110-131

BLEACH 110
The subject of Tatsuki being able to see spirits is definitely one that's been dragged out for some time.
1=20150121

BLEACH 111
That's interesting how they change the story around a bit to incorporate the Bount sensors (Noba, Ririn, and Kurodo).
Isshin specifically mentions captains when referring to Zanpakutō size. While I remember the line about controlling size, I didn't remember the specific reference to captains.
1=20150121

BLEACH 115
Three classes of Menos and the power of Arrancar is unknown. True. But Toshiro says if the three defected captains had ten Arrancars then the Soul Society would be doomed. However, aside from the ten remaining captains, there are at least several capable lieutenants, Ichigo, Yoruichi and Urahara.
We as viewers also know Isshin is strong, as far as Soul Reapers are concerned. And then of course, there's the Visored.
1=20150121

BLEACH 116
Haha. She both complains about the state of the closet and not being able to be in it.
1=20150122

BLEACH 117
Rukia's blade is all white whereas Ichigo's blade is all black.
1=20150122

BLEACH 118
I recently read these mangas but I forgot that Ikkaku uses his bankai.
1=20150122

BLEACH 121
What a brutal barrage of punches.
I like their casual clothes in the credits.
1=20150122

BLEACH 125
Oh, his hollowfication started a cero.
1=20150122

BLEACH 126
1=20150122

BLEACH 127
1=20150123

BLEACH 128
I was gonna ask how she pays for it all, but apparently things are cheaper in the World of the Living than the Soul Society.
Ha, her mod soul is so flirtatious.
I think this is the first episode which contains content I haven't read.*
*Apparently this is because the episode is a filler episode; supposedly the first of eight.
1=20150123

BLEACH 131
I was suddenly curious about the Soul Reaper's ability to stay in the air. According to the BLEACH wiki, Zangetsu explained that they stand on spirit particles.
Noticing that Matsumoto doesn't have Bankai, its interesting to note that the only non-captains who have Bankai are Ichigo, Renji, and Ikkaku.
Lol. Korean BBQ and Ichigo's terrible spiritual power detection.
1=20150123

SEASON 7 THE ARRANCAR PART 2: THE HUECO MUNDO SNEAK ENTRY: BLEACH 132-151

BLEACH 132
Haha. Poor Toshiro's demands for respect.
1=20150123

BLEACH 133
"Because the protective gear stinks."
1=20150123

BLEACH 134
Whoa! Hanataro used his zanpakuto!
1=20150123

BLEACH 136
"Urahara's really good at this, isn't he?" "Good at what Lirin?" "He says that he wants Chad to unwind but he plans on making him carry things." Ha. That reminds me of when my mom used to suggest I wash dishes, because it's a good break from homework.
1=20150123

BLEACH 137
Hmm. I thought the filler episodes were over (see note at BLEACH 128), but I don't remember this event in the manga. I do, however, know I am past this point in the manga.
Lol, only eleven seconds.
1=20150123

BLEACH 140
The eight-armed Espada was a guy. Haha. He looked very feminine.
1=20150123

BLEACH 141
In general, Isshin behaves so differently in his role as a dad and his role as a Soul Reaper. Obviously this is intentional, much like how Superman is much different as Clark Kent and Superman.
1=20150123

BLEACH 143
Ah. Haha. The last frame of the episode is the former Espada 6 with the caption "I won't appear from the next episode forward." (Because he's dead.)
1=20150123

BLEACH 144
This episode ends just as Chad is about to fire El Directo.
1=20150123

BLEACH 145
El Directo!
This might be the last episode with material I read. Unless it was the one before. I know I definitely read up to the point where Chad used El Directo for the first time. I don't, however, remember the tornado or their having to save a little girl.
1=20150123

BLEACH 146
I suppose since now I'm watching past what I've read, I got my first plot surprise. "Rukia. Renji."
Nel is a great character!
"Itsugo!"
1=20150123

BLEACH 147
Haha. "But we already know them." - Nel
1=20150123

BLEACH 148
Whoa. An Adjuchas and five or six Gillians.
1=20150123

BLEACH 151
1a=20150123, 1b=20150125:20150125*
*I rewatched this episode. Actually, its probably the third or fourth time rewatching it. I've repeatedly not paid attention and forget whether or not I've seen all of it.

SEASON 8 ARRANCAR: THE FIERCE FIGHT ARC: BLEACH 152-167

BLEACH 152
1=20150125

BLEACH 153
Lol. The snippet at the end of 152 and 153 basically suggests that the Soul Society's 13 Court Squads are close to useless except for Toshiro's Squad 10.
1=20150125

BLEACH 156
Lol, what a pervert.
1=20150125

BLEACH 158
What a quick power upgrade for Chad. Though apparently only good enough to defeat a Privaron Espada.
1=20150125

BLEACH 159
"Why aren't you saying anything? That defeats the purpose of me playing the fool!" - Pesche.
1=20150125

BLEACH 161
::gasp:: ::gasp:: "Just kidding."
1=20150125

BLEACH 166
It is strange how he can hold his mask for so long.
Grimmjow asks this question as well.
"Is that really Kurosaki?" - Inuoe
"Give it your all, Ichigo!" - Nel (what a great character)
I guess going back, that's why Rukia could cheer Ichigo up as soon as she came back. Inuoe is relatively timid. I mean, that's okay, because its her character. But that's what makes her different.
1=20150125

BLEACH 167
Whoa. So Gillians and Adjuchas are a result of cannibalism; hollows eating hollows and gillians eating gillians, respectively. And I guess its implied that Vasto Lordes are a result of adjuchas eating adjuchas.
What if Vasto Lordes eat Vasto Lordes? Lol. Though we haven't seen any Vasto Lordes...
Note that I had to do a little search, but Gillians < Adjuchas < Vasto Lordes, and Arrancar are the result of a hollow removing its mask to gain Shinigami-like powers.
Yay! I finished Season 8.
1=20150126 AM (Finished @ 3:00 AM PT)

SEASON 9 THE NEW CAPTAIN SHUSUKE AMAGAI ARC: BLEACH 168-189

BLEACH 168
Wait, why would she think Kira would become squad captain. Even though they are missing three captains, I'd imagine one still has to meet the traditional requirements.
Oh right, one of those is by recommendation.
1=20150127

BLEACH 169
By use of their powers (Uryu and Chad use their new weapons), even though this arc is non-canon, it would have to take place after they return from Hueco Mundo. (but long after, because I read something that eventually happens, though the writers for this filler wouldn't have known how the Hueco Mundo arc ends)
Haha. "That doesn't sound like a princess, that sounds like a queen."
1=20150127

BLEACH 170
Private Senkaimon. Like a private jet.
1=20150127

BLEACH 171
Lol. The Soul Reaper Women's Associaton cut the budget of the Shinigami Men's Association.
1=20150127

BLEACH 172
1=20150128

BLEACH 173
Lol, they hold their meetings in a secret room in Byakuya's mansion.
1=20150128

BLEACH 175
Unless you had a source of life, wielding a weapon that deals damage to you is insane.
1=20150128

BLEACH 176
Huh, the caption was "How long can you keep running?" but Uryu was just standing still thinking about the situation.
Chad uses Brazo Derecha de Gigante in this episode.
1=20150129

BLEACH 177
Uryu used Sprenger again.
Chad uses La Muerte.
1=20150129

BLEACH 178
Ah! A plot twist.
1=20150130

BLEACH 179
Lol, just the smell is getting him drunk.
Damn, this third seat is turning the members against Kira.
1=20150131

BLEACH 181
Nice, we finally get to see Enryu's Zanpakuto release.
Lol. Amagai says something like he'll volunteer himself to go since the others are probably close to him and would make it more difficult. But Kenpachi Zaraki might enjoy it. :P
1=20150131

BLEACH 182
Man, every time I see Kumoi, I just see evil. To me he embodies more evil than Aizen and/or Gin. While I don't know any of their motives, Kumoi's motives seem outwardly selfish. I think his face is also quite frightening compared to Aizen or Gin. In fact, although Gin's long smile is creepy, it's still a smile.
Haha, Byakuya's secret way of helping.
While Captain Amagai offers to help, I can't help but wonder if he's offering too readily and they can easily make a plot twist. Perhaps this suspicion is intentional.
So cute. "Byakki, that's too bad!" [pause] "There's another door here too!"
1=20150131

BLEACH 183
Hmm. The show addresses my question by asking the question themselves (Ichigo and Rukia). Amagai states that its his responsibility if Kibune is involved, but that doesn't mean that he actually has an ulterior motive.
1=20150131

BLEACH 184
It's revealed that Kenpachi was one of the two captains other than Yama who resided over Amagai.
He's told to think about what he's lacking, but he doesn't understand. Er. Maybe you lack compassion. Lol.
1=20150131

BLEACH 186
"He's a wily old fox."
1=20150131

BLEACH 187
Enryu speaks!
Hmm. I wonder what Yama has to say in retort.
1=20150131

SEASON 10 ARRANCAR VS. SHINIGAMI ARC: BLEACH 190-205

BLEACH 190
Half of this episode serves as a review of where the previous canon arc left off.
1=20150201

BLEACH 191
While I previously read this on the Bleach wiki, it is revealed at the end of this episode that Nel is a former espada.
1=20150201

BLEACH 192
1=20150202

BLEACH 194
Ah... so he cheated. In which case, he's quite arrogant in thinking he's better than her.
Of course, his reason for removing her is that he thinks males are better than females.
1=20150202

BLEACH 195
Lol. "What are you trying to pull out?"
Then the gutless joke.
And several penis jokes.
After watching enough of these episodes, it was obvious that with recapping all this despair and defeat, that there would be back-up coming in. It's simply a question of who would be coming to help.
"She's very pretty." - Nel commenting on her adult self and not realizing that its her.
1=20150202

BLEACH 196
Lol. Tesla was nothing for Kenpachi.
Ha. He kicked Ichigo.
Haha! Yachiru pops out of the most unexpected places.
"So when I stuff you in a jar I can write your name on it." - Mayuri
Why doesn't Inuoe start healing Ichigo?
Is it by chance that the captains are fighting enemies similar to them? Lol.
1=20150202

BLEACH 198
This guy is blabbing about Soul Reapers killing hollows, but I thought that actually saves their soul.
I noticed in a previous episode that both Kenpachi and this espada have eye patches.
Finally Inuoe intends on healing Ichigo. Oh, but he insists she heal Nel first. While this likely stems from his protective nature for Nel, it also makes sense power-wise.
Lol. The more powerful you are, the slower everything is?
Hahaha. The budget of the men's association immediately got voted to instead go Miyuri's reishi research.
1=20150202

BLEACH 200
Lol. Dummy, he just has to pass the through the other socket.
1=20150202

BLEACH 201
Oh, I thought Kenpachi tore his eyepatch off, but apparently the espada ripped it off.
1=20150202

BLEACH 202
It's interesting since Kenpachi with his patch off should be super strong, right? But his battle against this espada is nontrivial.
You just don't know... how much stronger... it is. Haha.
1=20150202

BLEACH 203
Were the Visored also put to sleep? Or perhaps they're spirits which are uneffected by the change.
1=20150203

BLEACH 205
I really didn't understand how they turned Kemari into a team competition. If the goal is not to drop it when you have it, why would you ever keep it?
1=20150203

SEASON 11 THE PAST ARC: BLEACH 206-212

BLEACH 206
1-20150204

BLEACH 207
Whoa! Kisuke dodges and then undodges.
I love these "historical" episodes.
1-20150204

BLEACH 208
Mayuri.
A young Byakuya!
Whoa. Gin was a prodigy!?!
1=20150205

BLEACH 212
1=20150205


SEASON 12 ARRANCAR: DECISIVE BATTLE OF KARAKURA ARC: BLEACH 213-229

BLEACH 213
1=20150205

BLEACH 216
Lol. "Maybe I didn't tell him."
Hahaha. "I have a policy of not looking at ugly things."
1=20150205

BLEACH 220
You tell him Iba, you tell that Ikkaku! [20150214: Though this could just as easily been Yumichika.
1=20150205

BLEACH 221
1=20150205

BLEACH 222
1=20150206

BLEACH 224
Holy shit. She's so fast.
1=20150206

BLEACH 225
Oh, apparently I saw parts of this episode before. I had not, however, noticed when Ukitake was unphased by any of Lilynette's attacks.
Haha. "Such hopeless squad members." [Rangiku, Momo, Hisagi, Iba, and Kira]
1=20150213

BLEACH 226
Ulquiorra is just fighting with one hand so far.
1=20150213

BLEACH 227
This episode more or less details events before the first Bleach episode. Many references are made to what will be. There is also a reuse of when Rukia talks to Ukitake about her transfer to the World of the Living.
1=20150213

BLEACH 228
This episode collects the various beach shorts.
1=20150213

BLEACH 229
1a: Falling asleep from watching too late. Also tired from rock climbing.
1b: That one strand of hair.
1a=20150213, 1b=20150214

20150121: BLEACH 110-115
20150122: BLEACH 116-126
20150123: BLEACH 127-151 <- Peak Binge @ 24.5 episodes!!!
20150125: BLEACH 151-167 <- Followed by 16.5 episodes to finish Season 9!!
20150127: BLEACH 168-171
20150128: BLEACH 172-175
20150129: BLEACH 176-177
20150130: BLEACH 178

20150201: BLEACH 189-191
20150202: BLEACH 192-202
After Episode 195 I noted the following: I love both the introduction and outro in these last couple of episodes.
20150203: BLEACH 203-205
20150204: BLEACH 206-207
20150205: BLEACH 208-221
